premium WordPress photography themes

Modularity

Modularity is a highly customizable multimedia theme framework for WordPress. The theme design was developed with users who appreciate visual browsing and prefer a minimal layout, with their photos and multimedia featured front and center. Virtually every aspect of the theme design can be controlled from either the Theme Options page or the Homepage Settings page.

The theme includes “apps” which you can enable or disable from the Homepage Settings page. These apps can transform the theme into a portfolio site for photographers and multimedia producers, a magazine-style site, or a normal blog-style homepage literally at the click of a button. In the future, we will be releasing “child themes” for Modularity to provide design alternatives and additional applications that will make Modularity even more configurable. You’ll definitely want to subscribe to GraphPaperPress.com to keep up on all the latest developments and enhancements for Modularity.

Thad is the founder of Theme.Works and Graph Paper Press. Previously, he produced online multimedia and documentary projects for USA Today including the inauguration of President Barack Obama and many others. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Abby.

Currently, the blog-style homepage is two columns, with a sidebar at right. But, it would be incredibly easy to remove the sidebar and make it span the full 950 px wide. All you would have to do is change this:

<div class="span-16 colborder">

to

<div class="span-24 last">

and remove the

<?php get_sidebar() ?>

on the blog.php file. If others think a sidebar-less front page blog layout is desirable, I might make it an option on the homepage settings page.

@ Matt – Actually, I decided to go ahead and build that feature into the Theme Options panel. So, now you can either enable a sidebar, or disable it to make the theme 950px wide….all without editing a single line of code. Everything is built into the theme options page.

Thanks Thad. I thought the first response was comprehensive but then to build it into the theme – even better! I have an upcoming project I’m working on and it looks to me like Modularity is going to be right on the money with what I’m looking for.

@ Matt – you can enable or disable sidebars, slideshow, slider gallery, Magazine front, blog-style posts on the Theme Options and Homepage Settings pages. Everything is completely modular, including sidebars. It can be both a two column theme or a one column theme.

@Brendon – Yes. I provide instructions on the Homepage Settings page. The instructions are also commented out in the HTML source code.

Thanks, Thad. You read my mind and developed a hybrid of everything I like about your previous themes. I’ll purchase the Developer’s license as well. Really nice work, I recommend it to anyone considering the investment.

@ Son Doan – You want to resize the entire theme to 800 px wide? It would actually be quite easy to do (because Modularity is built on the Blueprint CSS framework) but, it would require WAY more code and info than would be realistic to post in the comments. Here is some guidance:

Modularity is 950 px wide. Blueprint has a total of 24 columns, each measuring 40 px wide. If you wanted to make your theme 800 px wide, you would want just 20 columns, not 24. The blueprint CSS code looks something like this:

<div class="span-14">
This column spans 14 columns, each measuring 40 pixels wide, with a column border.
</div>
<div class="span-6 last">
This is the last container, which could be your sidebar. When you want to end the floating containers, add the "last" class, which I did above.
</div>

You will need to replicate the method posted above on all template pages to make the 800 px wide theme.

@Ovi – Modularity makes it very easy to change colors and add homepage apps, which can totally change the configuration and layout of your homepage.

Thad or anybody who can help, how do you uplaod videos on modularity ? Do you have a cpanel for videos and you just uplaod any format and it converts it to flash, or I have to uplaod swf files ? What is teh vidoe uplaod process ? Thanks Ovi

@ Mrs. Evans – The download link is sent out automatically (by computer scripts) after payment is received. Because you haven’t received it yet, I have thus sent both you and Michelle the download link manually, twice, since last night. Please confirm receipt. If you still aren’t receiving the download link, call me and I’ll make sure you get it.

@Shavonne – The instructions for adding video to your site can be found in the INSTALL.html file in the download.

@Ovi – There is no cpanel for the video uploading. You simply use custom fields, as per the instructions in the INSTALL.html file in the download. The best way to compare the themes is to visit the theme demo pages for each theme. Briefly, Modularity makes it easy to change the homepage layout, because of all the theme options that come packaged with the theme.

Thad,
I have a few questions.
1. Can I change the words “Catagories” and “Pages” in the upper-right navigation menus?
2. Can I get rid of the white fade in the slideshow so i can use that area as a still banner?
3. Can I change the words “Latest” and “Previously” in the magazine style layout?

Seconding Ryan’s question #1, or nearly: can that widgetized area at right of header be edited? Can the header itself–font and size–be edited? Also, is it possible to add a “Links” widget in the sidebar that doesn’t show up as “Blogroll?”

Hi – I have paid for your ‘modularity’ theme and have downloaded the zip file – I am unable to extract to my computer because for some reason you have duplicated file names and folders in the zip file and windows wont allow in the same folder. Please advise on how to fix?

Have just been playing around with Modularity Lite, and I have to say that it is one of the most impressive themes I have seen.

I’m this close to parting with some hard earned moolaa and splashing out on the full version of Modularity – I have but two questions.

1) Will my purchase grant me access to any future versions? ie: if wordpress itself has a major update – will Modularity be updated and will I be provided a link to an upgrade? or will I have to pay again?

2) I want to buy the single site license, but I will most likely be building the site I want to use this theme for on my personal web space – than transfering the site to the final domain once it is ready to go live.
Will this still fall in line with the license agreement?

@AFD – yes, you will receive future updates to Modularity when WordPress releases updates depending on which subscription you choose. You will receive the new theme release via email download. The license also allows you to use the theme on a single site, so you can transfer the theme to your new domain whenever you like.

As a follow up …. is it possible to purchase the individual license initially and then upgrade to a full Developer’s License at a later date and at what price? I know this was possible in the past (as per a post in the forum this past summer)… just making sure your terms have not changed.

Sorry if this is not the place to post this question, however, I sent a “contact” email yesterday and thought it may have been grabbed by a spam filter.

Please let me know regarding this as I am looking forward to implementing Modularity with the Modfolio child theme.

I paid for Modularity on January 28th. I’m trying to log back in to read through the forum to get answers to questions. I know you’ve made changes to your business model since then (subscription vs. straight download). Do I need to re-register or can you send me new log-in credentials?

I’m really intersted in buying modularity but wanted to know before I do- can you change the background from black to an image. Also can you replace the header text with an image (logo)Are there instructions to do this within the tutorial section.

hmm, I have tried HD, but many users have reported problems, probably because their connection speed is not fast enough..
Also, on heavy loads, that just kills my server’s ressources..
seems I will just stay in the “regular quality images” format for now..

If i read
correctly i have to upgrade my theme? Modularity is you’re your graphpaperpress
themes 2011 but on the ‘old’ website it works fine. (also wp version 3.9.1) Why
should i upgrade on the new website? The upgrade probably has different set up
so I have to build my website again…
